Gaston Ramirez has picked up a pelvic problem and won't be available for Monday's match with Chelsea.

Ramirez has not played since picking up a straight red card on April 22 against Bournemouth, as the Uruguayan was left out of the matchday 18-man squad for the 2-2- draw with Manchester City after serving a one match ban. While Steve Agnew hinted that the decision to leave Ramirez out of the squad on Sunday was due to disciplinary reasons, the manager confirmed a pelvic problem will keep him on the sidelines for the trip to Stamford Bridge. The absence of Ramirez should result in more playing time for Cristhian Stuani and Adama Traore, boosting each player's fantasy value until the former returns. May 5 - 9:14 AM

Middlesbrough will be without Gaston Ramirez for Wednesday's home game against Sunderland after his dismissal during the 4-0 loss at Bournemouth.

The absence of Ramirez is a big blow ahead of the Riverside edition of Tees-Wear derby, as Middlesbrough is nine points from safety with just five matches remaining. The Uruguayan attacking midfielder was sent off against Bournemouth for a pair of bookable offenses, the first for a clear dive in the area and second after a dangerous lunge on Marc Pugh in the 19th minute of the match. Although the second yellow seemed harsh considering there wasn't much contact, the reckless intent of the challenge was rightly booked by the referee. Steve Agnew is expected to start Adama Traore with Ramirez unavailable, while Adam Forshaw could also be recalled with defensive midfielders Marten de Roon (ankle) and Grant Leadbitter (hamstring) both in doubt.

Gaston Ramirez is set to return for Middlesbrough's clash with Arsenal on Monday after recovering from an ankle injury.

The Uruguayan playmaker has missed the last two matches with an ankle injury but is expected to go straight back into Steve Agnew's starting XI, with Cristhian Stuani likely dropped to the bench. Meanwhile, Fabio is expected to be recalled at left-back having recovered from concussion but Calum Chambers will be ineligible against his parent club. As a result, Agnew could revert to a 4-1-4-1 formation. Apr 14 - 4:54 PM

Gaston Ramirez is in contention to return but will need to pass a late fate fitness test in order to feature against Burnley.

Ramirez missed the midweek defeat at Hull City due to a knock the Argentine playmakers suffered at the weekend against Swansea City. While the exact details of problem are unclear, Middlesbrough interim boss Steve Agnew is hopeful the midfielder will be available for Saturday's match at the Riverside Stadium. Agnew said: "With Gaston [Ramirez] we’re not sure, he had light training this morning and he’s still out there with the medical staff as we speak." In the event the medical staff doesn't not clear Ramirez fit to return, Agew could resort to using a 4-4-2 (double 6) for the second consecutive match in a row. This would see Rudy Gestede start along Alvaro Negredo up front, with Stewart Downing and Adama Traore the candidates to play on the flanks. Apr 7 - 5:34 PM
